Pac on the cover of TIME MAG

[happytrip]

Looks like pretty awesome boxing promotion to me.

you are correct....there are more deserving Filipinos,in the fields of relevance like politics,science,education and what else....Why feature a boxing hero in the mags cover?What significance has MANNY done to help us poor Filipinos?

Of course he makes us proud and happy,That is all to it.

But make no mistake,I like PAC.

I for one think no other Filipino is more deserving than Pacquiao at this moment in Time. It's a big fight and makes history in boxing if he wins. You may not have felt Pacquiao's help directly but there are hundreds of school children and hundreds of others that have. He's probably helped more poor than Arroyo. Just bringing the worlds attention alone to the plight of the poor brings money in donations and that has significance.

It's off topic but I'll give you an example of your statement. Melchor M. Tayamen, Head of the Fresh water fisheries. This guy is simple humble guy that created a new bread of Tilapia (fish) that grows in just 3 months rather than the 4.5 to 5 months normally. This kind of achievement is profound and your politicians have done nothing to recognize it. Arroyo even showed her face to take credit rather than hold the guy up for his work. IMO Pacquiao does more for the Philippines as a boxer than he ever will as a politician but it remains to be seen.

I am not for politicians ;neither i am a pro administration person.In my earlier posts ,i just wanted to imply that ,filipinos can excel in other intellectual fields and be published in TIME mag.Boxing is so minute a field for Filipinos to be talk about in a medium like the Times mag.

And yes maybe MANNY has done wonders in boxing that can make us,Filipinos proud of.But imo not to the extent of being in the cover of TIME mag.This is my position,and you have yours....i respect your position.

Like i said i have never read about the TIME article on MANNY.

The coach of my college's volleyball team is Filipino as well. I actually called a live volleyball game by myself, was very nerveracking.
